Research interests
Robin's research centres on counter-terrorism law and policy, with a particular focus on how legal frameworks respond to threats while safeguarding fundamental rights. He is especially interested in the role of counter-extremism strategies within education and broader issues of surveillance, state power, and civil liberties.
His recent publication, co-authored with David Lowe, is titled Prevent Strategy: Helping the Vulnerable Being Drawn Towards Terrorism or Another Layer of State Surveillance? (Routledge, 2020), which critically examines the UK's Prevent strategy and its implications for both safeguarding and individual freedoms.
